Self-Portrait!

Finally managed to squeeze in enough time to paint a self-portrait for the Artists Guild Gallery's "Self Portrait Members' Show," which actually opened June 1st.  With family  moving in and viruses going around, the easel has been empty most days.  Following is my entry, "YouTube Painting," which actually can be seen being painted on a one-minute time-lapse video.  Simply Google "Judy Burgarella Portrait Video" and click on the video arrow.  Or you can try this link - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcLf7ACVaJk  Bob Barbour is the model I am painting, a gift to Bob for the many favors he's done for me and also for my fellow mural painters (verobeachmural.blogspot.com) in creating videos for us.  However my few hours of work on his painting does not begin to cover the hours he put in for me.  What a guy!  Fabulous videographer too.

Below is a work "On the Easel" which I hope to finish this week.  Cute little boy, grandson of a fellow Sebastian River Art Club member, one which I started as a demo in an oil/acrylic painting class I teach at the Artists Guild Gallery on Wednesday mornings.  Call the Guild at 772-299-1234, or me at 772-581-8281 for information about classes there, or my classes at the Sebastian River Art Club.

Above is the portrait all finished, which I am posting long after it was completed.

Well, that's all for now folks.  I hope to squeeze another portrait in some time soon.
